How Leslie Avenue, Taunton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Leslie Avenue, Taunton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £53,000 | £117,685 |
| 2000s | 8 | £172,750 | £314,700 |
| 2010s | 4 | £218,475 | £308,050 |
| 2020s | 1 | £295,000 | £301,413 |
The highest yearly median on record for Leslie Avenue, Taunton is £295,000 in 2025; the lowest is £49,500 in 1997. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £53,000 to £295,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £117,685, so the real change over the whole record is +156.1% — about +3.18% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +35.0% in cash against -3.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Leslie Avenue, Taunton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Leslie Avenue, Taunton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 158 | 96.9% | £179,500 | £14,825 – £350,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 1.8% | £172,000 | £47,000 – £189,950 |
| Detached | 2 | 1.2% | £60,000 | £60,000 – £102,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Leslie Avenue, Taunton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 163 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 163 | 100.0% | £177,500 |
| New build | 1 | 0.6% | £77,000 |
| Existing home | 162 | 99.4% | £178,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -56.9%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Somerset, 45.0% of 296,416 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of TA2, 162 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 72 violent, 2 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 17 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Leslie Avenue, Taunton sits in Somerset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Somerset at 8.0 times median local earnings of £35,440 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Leslie Avenue, Taunton?

When were Leslie Avenue, Taunton house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Leslie Avenue, Taunton?

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 19 Dec 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
